HARTFORD, Conn. -- Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Monday that she will not interfere with plans to put a serial killer to death next month in what would be the first execution in New England since 1960. "I have no sympathy for Michael Ross," Rell, a Republican, said. Ross, 45, is on death row for killing four women in the 1980s and has admitted killing four others. He is set to die by lethal injection Jan. 26.
